Why point it out? In admiration?

Ok so it's something tankies say, why is that a problem? If they said the sky was blue would you say everyone who thinks the sky is blue is a tankie?

EDIT - Just to add, you know who else reacted negatively to communists? You know why the Nazis targetted jews? Or is the irony of using "tankie" as a pejorative and being a fascist lost on you?

That was before WW2, no less. Funny how after all that happened, people saw that and went, "Yeah that was a good idea."

Smaller population simply means each person’s vote counts for more.

What about the smaller tribes who live under strict patriarchies that can't vote? Plenty examples of those in history and today (cults for instance). There are also examples of massive cities with egalitarian urban planning with no centralized temples or food storage. So again I ask, what makes you think population size has anything to do with their politics?

I call the people who hold accounts in the £36 TRILLION in offshore tax havens and all those who are okay with it "fascists."

No, I don't talk to tankies I don't think. I genuinely don't understand why you'd have this reaction to a description of what's happening.

Just looked up what a "tanky" was, got mixed results, looks like classic red scare communism-phobia to me, lots of people butthurt that Russia beat the Nazis and freed the concentration camps with violence as if that was a mistake. Did it happen some other way then? And all that stuff about Russia and Stalingrad and Berlin is just tankie propaganda? Please.

I am, they're fascists, whatever colour shirt they're wearing. And hard disagree that our modern problems can't be described by old ones, what an ahistorical take.

Or Andrew Jackson.

That's just rich people behavior.

I figure ProPublica and The Lancet doesn't feel the need to write about a Nazi salute we could all see for our own eyes, no investigative journalism necessary.

It is you'll just make them cum.
